Imported Food & Beverage are under the same law as domestically produced food and beverage. One needs to assure that importers and foreign suppliers are compliant and keep relevant records and provide them to the FDA within 24 hours of their request. This is a daunting task if you face the FDA on your own, but it becomes manageable if the proper documentation has been gathered ahead of time and records have been organized and kept.
At KLA, our PCQI experts gather, analyze and keep the records in an FDA ready electronic file. Specifically our PCQI trained and certified team is here to guide your company through the newly implemented FSMA and FSVP regulations.
